You will receive information about what you can expect during your time as a student both during your timetabled classes and also extracurricular opportunities; there will be plenty of opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.

After the introduction you will have an audition. This will take the form of a technique class. You will also be asked to prepare a solo performance. See below for more details.

Following the audition, there will be an informal interview. Your interviewer will be interested in: why you have applied for this course; what your aspirations are for the future; and which choreographers and companies influence you the most.

Audition

Please make sure that you are dressed appropriately for class. Remove all jewellery, wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and shows a clear bodyline and bare feet. If you own ballet shoes you can wear these for barre, but do not worry if not. You can continue with bare feet or socks.

Following a session at the barre you will move into the space to do a contemporary class. This will involve you learning a number of short phrases. Finally, you will be set a creative task with instruction about how to develop a motif.

Please do not worry if there are any of the above elements that you do not feel confident in. We cover a wide variety so everyone has the opportunity to show strengths, but it is not integral to gaining a place that you must be proficient in all areas.

For your solo performance, we would like you to prepare a contemporary or dance fusion piece (incorporating contemporary and other styles) of 1 minute 30 seconds long. If you choose to use music or sound, please bring this with you as an MP3 on a device like a smartphone, tablet or MP3 player.

Top 10 Interview Tips

Be prepared

It might be the scout motto, but it also applies to interview situations too. Look carefully through any material that’s sent to you before the interview, so you know what to expect when you arrive.

Plan your journey

Make sure you know where you are going, how you are travelling, and how long it will take. Try to arrive at least 15 minutes early and have our contact details handy in case you need to get in touch.

Bring what you need

Don’t forget to bring any documents you might need, including ID, a passport sized photo, certificates or a portfolio.

Do your homework

Research your course and our University. Read the syllabus and think about what in particular interests you. Read around the subject you’re applying for – in newspaper articles, the internet, or professional publications. We don’t expect you to be an expert (yet!), but we do want to see your enthusiasm.

Get personal

Read over your personal statement. It’s likely that we’ll ask you questions about this in your interview, so review what you have said and make sure you’re prepared to answer questions about it.

Practice makes perfect!

Ask a teacher or careers adviser to give you a mock interview. For extra practice, get a friend or someone you trust to ask you more difficult interview questions.

Be yourself…

We want to know what makes you tick. Tell us why you’re passionate about your subject and why you want to study at the University of Salford. Remember, we want to hear from you – so don’t swallow a thesaurus, put it in your own words.

…but also your best self

Be relaxed but stay professional. Think about what you’re wearing and what it says about you. For professional courses, smart attire is expected.

Ask Us Anything

Listen carefully to what the interviewer is saying and don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s a good idea to come prepared with a list of questions to ask about your course and the University.
